Most students compete in local tournaments, held at Discovery Park in Sacramento, California. Many students have expanded their tournament experience by attending tournaments such as the California State Indoor Tournament, held in Tulare, California, as well as, the Cotton Boll and Grapestakes.

Our club is taught by NAA Certified Level II Instructors, whom are all volunteers. During class sessions the students work on earning their J.O.A.D. patches and certificates as well as developing critical archery skills. Class activities vary from working on their next JOAD level, participating in a fun balloon shoots, games, working on a new techniques or practicing form.

Students are also taught how to maintain and repair their equipment, set-up and take-down their bows, repair arrows, etc...

What is J.O.A.D.
Junior Olympic Archery development (JOAD) is a youth archery program designed for children, 18 years of age and under. Classes are structured and students will learn the basic fundamentals of archery in a fun setting. The skills taught and learned by the students can prepare them for competition shooting. A JOAD program generally follows the same shooting and equipment rules as USA Archery and the International Archery Association (FITA)
JOAD has developed its own competition rounds, dress code regulations along with special scoring to make it appealing to youths.
